Persepsi Mahasiswa Disabilitas Rungu terhadap Perilaku Penyimpangan Seksual

Abstract

This article discusses the perceptions of deaf students toward sexual deviant behavior, particularly LGBT-related behavior. The subjects of this study are deaf students in Padang City. The background of this research is based on the increasing cases of sexual deviance in Indonesia, including among individuals with disabilities. The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach, with data collected online via Google Forms. The findings indicate that the perceptions of deaf students toward LGBT behavior are influenced by personal experiences, social environment, and understanding of religious and cultural norms. Most respondents expressed a rejecting attitude toward LGBT behavior, although some showed neutral or uncertain responses. The study reveals that 67% of respondents perceive LGBT behavior as a form of sexual deviance, while the remaining 33% hold a negative perception.
